Day 1: 30 days of Me challenge

Jaks - My cocktail party - July 2010

Day One: 1x recent photo of me & 15x interesting (subject to readers preference of course) facts about me

1. I have 2 beautiful daughters: 16yrs & 12yrs & I have 2 awesome sons: 11yrs & 2yrs

2. I have been with my husband since we were at school for almost 18yrs

3. I definitely believe in God & all that that encompasses – & though my husband has alternative spiritual beliefs, we love & respect each other enough not to judge one another … even though I have the truth & he is wrong tehe

4. I am a Wedding Planner & I love it (a born romantic);

5. I also work 4 days a week for Regional Council

6. We have an old villa (over 140yrs old) that we transported from Waiuku to our property in Tauranga 2.5yrs ago & we are still renovating it; though we are on the last part of cosmetically completing it … we’ve come a long way with it & I’m pretty pleased about that

7. We are on a 14ha block & have 1x sow in pig, 2x kuni-kuni, 14 drystock cows, 5x chickens, & 2x dogs – does that make this place a farm?

8. I am a total list freak – perhaps not that interesting, but my friends are gob-smacked at the comprehensive state of my list(s) … hellloooo … 4x kids, 2x jobs & oodles of animals, kinda need a list!

9. I am half Scotish by blood, which kind of freaks people out who think I am just Maaori – and I have never visited Scotland, I keep in touch regularly with whanau who live in Scotland (visiting Scotland is on my to-do list), and I am in fact on the events committee for the Jamieson family reunion planned for 2012 in Thames who came from Scotland. And I am an adept Highland Dancer.

10. I have lived in Auckland, Whakatane & Tauranga

11. In my 7th form year, I was House Captain, a Prefect, and I got Pregnant *gasp*. I was due to give birth on the 20 Dec (I actually gave birth on 21 Dec) … despite this, I continued playing netball & volleyball until the end of the season & I also won the 100m hurdles in my year going on to represent the school whilst 6mths pregnant … obviously some pro’s to being 18 & pregnant, you’re still somewhat limber

12. My amazing dad died 15yrs to the day on the 13th September when he was only 40yrs old – my mum is/was only 1 day younger than him … & although I think she is pretty ‘hot’ she has remained a widow ever since, & not even had a boyfriend … 2 things from that story – my dads death invoked my pursuit for spirituality; & my mums ‘only true love’ sentiment must’ve rubbed off on me … refer #4

13. I really like Black nail polish on my fingernails

14. I am really forgiving, but I find it extremely difficult to tolerate judgemental people … we are all different eh …

15. Spirituality, family, friends, people … PARAMOUNT
